Just helping you secure your place as Mom's Favorite Child (you're welcome).
25 Super Sweet Valentine's Day Gifts That Aren't Totally Weird to Give Your Mom
Whether you're at home with your 'rents or you're a parent now, yourself—you know that moms do a lot. And what better time than Valentine's Day to show yours how grateful you are? (OK, fine, maybe Mother's Day, but just go with it.) Since V-Day is typically reserved for hot dates and lingerie gifts, you might be drawing a blank when it comes to shopping for a Valentine's Day gift for Mom that's not, like, totally weird. And that, my friends, is where I come in.
If you already used up all your good gift ideas for mothers during the holidays, my condolences. Now let me help you brainstorm a few more. Everyone likes to feel appreciated (especially moms), so anything to pamper (e.g., self-care or soothing bath products) or spoil her with (like a cute new accessory or piece of jewelry) will do the trick. Just scroll through, below, for 25 gift ideas that'll remind her why you're the favorite child how much you love her.
